Update

Front Line welcomes the decision of the Moroccan authorities to reinstate the monthly social support for Abdulla Al-hamdi, member of the Committee for Protection of Human Rights in Smara-Western Sahara. However, Front Line regrets that other members of this group and other Sahrawi human rights groups are reportedly still subjected to suspension of social support apparently as a means to hinder their human rights activities, including, Saeed Albelal, Mohamed Alsa’ed, Mariam Ment Jaffre, Abdullah Al-hamdy, Engiya Boukhars and Sakina Jedahlo Al-Edreesi.
